AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2784 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 5.5.4. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the Hover Card widget, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject and store malicious scripts within pages using the Hover Card widget. When other users access these pages, the injected scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity loss (e.g., theft of cookies or manipulation of page content). Availability is not impacted. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the published date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Hover Card widget if feasible. Monitor official channels from posimyththemes for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
